The 24-year-old outfielder was paralyzed in a June collision and staff said his progress could lead to a full recovery.
- On Wednesday, Athletics prospect Ryan Lasko was discharged from Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation in West Orange, New Jersey, after two months recovering from a paralyzing spinal-cord injury sustained in an outfield collision.
